Hurling and Camogie

Cork HurlingCork beat Kilkenny in the final of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship at Croke Park last Sunday. I won't stop bemoaning the fact that this wasn't on television in Australia and apparently will not be shown at a later date.

Cork's victory was something of an upset, the final score being 0-19 (19) to 0-7 (7).

It seems that the game was available for live screening in the pubs. In Sydney, this would mean the Gaelic Club in the City. There were also pay-webcast facilities available through setanta.tv, though it is telling me that I wouldn't be able to use it through Mozilla. Ha!

In the Minor Hurling final, Kilkenny 1-18 drew with Galway 3-12, replay on Sunday the 19th. Before that, on Saturday, the under-21 final between Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Cork will play Tipperary in the camogie final at Croke Park on Sunday. Cork have announced their team. The Tipperary GAA website has a photo of the Tipperary Camogie Team of the Century. Good coverage of this week's pre-final press conference on the GAA.ie website, but for all things camogie, you probably shouldn't go past www.camogie.ie.

Latest odds on the All-Ireland Camogie final (source: Paddypower) Tipperary 1.91, Cork 2.10, draw 8.50.
